Paint Rock stones tribute

Yellow Ochre with stones, French Broad River, vegetation and Earth cosmologies

Paint Rock Hollow

Hot Springs NC

realizing there are several Paint Rock Roads and a Paint Rock Holler nearby I saw the Yellow Oxide (Iron Oxyhydroxide) in many of the stone formations with the mountains... I gathered some Yellow Ochre stones and did these stone drawings along the French Broad River that borders our backyard... the Appalachians and the French Broad River are among the world's most ancient mountain ranges and rivers... and humans have used Yellow Ochre pigments to make our marks for millennia...

charcoal with stones, vegetation & Earth cosmologies

Upper Shut-In Trail, Garenflo Gap

Hot Springs NC

a couple days after arriving and being with the land we hiked this trail high above town in the rain forest like mountains... I scrubbed my feet in a sweet, cool and sandy pool in a creek and then stood upon a mossy stone fashioned particularly for this sort of thing... I felt grounded, and welcome...

triangle

triangle is a most stable of forms and can represent symbolically am working lately with two triangles with same base line, Rifton - Esopus amd Black Creek with John Burroughs Sanctuary/Esopus/1/23matter, non matter and the forces that move them, as well as other classical trilogies... working with the stone markings locally along Roundout Creek with High Falls NY, Rosendale NY and Kingston NY and Wallkill River from Tillson and Rifton NY to Ulster Park NY… the two rivers conjoin with Ulster Park and NE the river conjoins with Kingston NY and with Hudson River… I’ve now realized with mapping and have drawn this Green lined triangle connecting the points with the Charcoal, Stone and Water sites along Roundout and Wallkill… the Red dot is where I live, my Heart(h), from center out and in… my two daughters were home births along Wallkill, one with Tillson/Rosendale and one with St Remy/Rfiton... I’m working more with the symbolism of the inclined triangle with Heart(h) as the universal feminine & masculine principles… as with Yoni with female principle and triangle representing the universal male principle, or Lingham… yin<>yang, female<>male<>etheric energies that moves them... The symbols are metaphors with the land and space… triangle flames light our ways...

I've been working with "natural" materials with my painting beginning with the mid 1980s when I began using beeswax crayons and raw beeswax, organic Peruvian Damar resin, Ochre pigments and charcoal... most recently I've been working with charcoal along over with pandemic over and devaluation of u.s. dollar and the word "organic" and the smell of gasoline and other chemicals I'm looking to raise my patronage... hey Joe and Joanne!, send me some fun/ds!... "I'm working with charcoal with stones, rivers and with Earth … with being with alignment with the energies I sense with the space and place, the time of day and seasons as continuum... these moments of drawing express marks of our collective connection with our universal matrix, or fractal... using charcoal speaks to my consideration that before I make a mark to do no harm and act with accord... I use charcoal from stone circle wood fires local to each site... charcoal is elemental with all life and is a filtering and cleansing substance... as that I see my use with it as healing with homeopathic perspective applications as a remedial toward healthier animal and plant balances and as symbolic energetically... rain, rivers, water, etc. transfer into the broader Waters connecting with rivers and eventually are absorbed with Earth, Air ... the primal markings are of a pre literate and/or post literate form, similar to early writing and petroglyphs... I've been working with charcoal along over 7,000 miles with stones, with about 40 rivers and creeks, with over 1600 marked sites with Earth from 7/27/2016 - now, 5/7/23... ..."...

with, being with alignment and with the energies I sense with the place and space, the time of day and the seasons as continuum...

these moments of drawing express marks with being with our collective connection, with our universal matrix, our fractal...

using charcoal speaks with consideration that before I mark to do no harm through being with accord with environment...

using charcoal from stone circle wood fires local to each site... charcoal is elemental with all life and is essential with fertile soil... it is a filtering and cleansing substance... as that I see my use with it as healing with homeopathic perspective applications and healing as symbolic energetically and fractally... it disperses with rain, rivers, water, etc. transferring and conjoining with broader Waters, connecting with other rivers, Oceans and absorbed with Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Ethers...

each marking paralleling early writing and petroglyphs with space and time macrocosms and microcosms... each marking along the 38 rivers and creeks connect with others... from the Deerfield, Connecticut and Hoosic rivers with VT, MA and NY, Hudson River and Kinderhook Creek, Mohawk River, Normanskill Creek, Wallkill River, Roundout Creek, Esopus Creek, Catskill Creek, Claverack, Agawamuck, Basic, Kaaterskill, Papscanne, Punsit, Schoharie Creeks and Valatie Kill, Kline Kill/Stone Kill, Mordimer Kill, Black Creek, Peterskill and Shawangunk Kill with NY, Housatonic and Naugatuck Rivers with MA and CT, Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers, all in the Northeast US and the French Broad River with NC and TN, Big Laurel Creek, Swananoa River, Spring Creek, Paint Rock and Upper Shad Creeks with NC, Pigeon River, Nolichuckey, Holston River and Tennessee River with TN, 23 Waterway... looking at a larger matrix on a map, a larger drawing emerges from all the sites as a writing marked form... and implementing fauxto journaling each marked event, and often writing a short poetics descriptive inspired with family/community, international news, astrology and astronomy and interweaving the webh with collective and personal energies with that time and space and as reciprocal expression with it directly and minimally...

I accept contributions, barter, trade and places to stay or tent along the way...

I recently let go of a storage unit rental where I found mold, and mice were munching several paintings... the first and last had no previous underpainting, the other paintings had paintings under them from earlier with my art discovering... I lay the work out with Earth to allow this entropic process enfolding and have been photo journaling the changings as seasonal liberating passages ...

as I let go with each adding to my stories with them...

passages and pathways change rapidly with Spring weather here with the Northeast US... with Saturn and Uranus conjunct the Moon's South Node retrograding with Capricorn our deep and structured past becomes workable with allowing opening to our shadow and its' structures... we can rework them in the now to reestablish how and where we want them to grow... digging and turning over the Earth, planting seed and setting out young plants in our real or metaphorical garden is a physical sense with this concept... reworking old thinking patterns that no longer serve our growth is another, more psychological and spiritual sensibility and may with a nudge amy be our gateway with kind understanding for now, as well ness...

with the Kinderhook Creek project, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5XgZGFTsNU&feature=youtu.be I used energetic markings of cleansing and clearing wood charcoals along the Creek from local circle fires… with my intention being reciprocating Love, Peace and CoCreativity in aligning with the Earth/Cosmos energetic... consider the markings as symbolic gestures of pre-historic and ancient origins and present<>futuristic signifiers placed temporarily and everlasting with the elements Earth, Air, Fire, Water and Ethers… the pulsing Sacred Waters and wind are life in continuum and are the circulatory system of the Earth and of all of the bodies upon and within Earth… I applied these temporary charcoal markings at 23 installation sites at 12 locations in Massachussetts & New York… the markings disperse with the winds and rains/snows and are absorbed by Earth as revitalization… Hancock MA Hancock Village MA Stephentown NY Nassau NY Brainard NY Malden Bridge NY Chatham NY Valatie NY Kinderhook NY Chittenden Hollow NY Columbiaville NY Stockport NY Kinderhook Creek was known as Pasanthkack by the Mahican Native Americans who inhabited this land before the violent genocidal white European colonial invasions… Pasanthkack signifies meeting place… and the area around Kinderhook Creek was called Machackoesk by the Mahicans… when the Dutch explorer Henry Hudson anchored in 1609 at the mouth of where the Kinderhook Creek joins with the Hudson River he was greeted by a group of Mahicans with many children accompanying them. Hudson called it Kinderhook, translating as the bend, or hook in the river where the children play... there are many bends with the winding Kinderhook Creek... its' waterbody length is 263.3 miles from NY - MA state line to the Hudson River… it is a straight line drive of about 50 miles from Hancock to Stockport... the Kinderhook has a drainage area of over 330 square miles with many smaller water tributaries leading into it...a short distance of the Creek joining the Hudson River is today referred to as Stockport Creek… www.gregpatch.blogspot.com www.gregpatchartwork.com production tools: - Bureau of Watershed Assessment and Management Division of Water NYS Department of Environmental Conservation - Google maps, edited with Mac’s Photos & SketchBook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - all photos shot with iPhone & edited with the MacIntosh’ Photos - video shot with SONY CX110/CX150/XR150 handycam - video with maps and photos edited with iMovie - writing done with Word:Mac 14.6.8 ~Many Thanks with my daughter and her family for hosting me during the processing of this project~ Ω Stand With Standing Rock Ω and the Peoples with Earth 2016

“centering/center ring”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmZCdxjPhk0

an installation series atop repurposed square posts implementing the tree’s center ring as visual ground and catalyst with my own energetic center ring.

I began the “centering/center ring” project in Wilmington, NC. moving Northward placing the installations through to sites along the Connecticut River Valley and to the West the pastoral Berkshire Hills of MA. the posts ground and connect the Eastern seaboard at sites of institutes of higher learning, historical significances and spiritual landmarks.

sensing with an energetic approach my directed mark of flaked paint and beeswax with natural color pigment as mediums are set upon the post’s natural circular end grain. they are framed by their Human square cut perimeter and immediate surrounding area.

the flaked paint I mark with are Earth sourced ochres blended with an organic wheat paste and allowed to dry on a metal plate in the sun. this natural drying process creates flaked forms both chaotic and coherent. often pareidolia are present as the medium completes drying and lifts naturally off the metal surface. smaller particles are incorporated as colorful textural field components.

the installation sketches are imaged with digital. the photos are journalistic acknowledgements recording the energies of place. a wooden post’s essential character, weather conditions of the moment, my own present expression, color and density of the day and that of the mediums in relation to “centering/center ring” in the wholistic experience, et al…

The intention is to expand on “dot(s)writing” with creating journaling expressions of visual experience as a calligraphy form. Expressing what I know and what I don't know. Each/all dot(s) representing a word, phrase, a tome, a momentary expression through time that constructs like alphabet/asemics on the written page. Each/all dot(s) is/are infinite in its/their possibilities within and without it/them self. Color, line, form within and without each/all dot wholistically. The dot and the space around the dot. The all of dot(s)/space(s) together as the story expands with the page(s) of journaling.

purchase many of the pages of "dotswriting" and rearrange them every so often like the word messages chips on your refridgerator, bathtub, city hall, send one or them to friends, secret enemies (7th house) along ley lines, gift them to prisoners, the Prez/girl or guy next door, if you wish buy them all or raid my home and burn them!, (DO NOT disturb the peas) get one and reverse it, tear it up and use as thumbnails in the same way, or just frame it and enJoy if that is safer for you. Get a deck and use them like Tarot/Angel.divination cards, etc. etc.... be imaginative with them, or write your own! At $70.00 each + shipping or handling or trade them, barter them, use them as $70.00 bills! (+ tax. Greg Patch, blogger.com are not responsible for your liabilities once I receive/or before your payment.)

search on this blog "dotswriting" to see images of the "dotswriting" along with my writing about them. the url of each page the "dotswriting" are at will help us recognize the ones you are interested in.
